* France defends its ‘big nuclear adventure,’* * French pragmatism triumphs over the hysteria elsewhere* French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told CNBC on Friday that the country’s decision to bet big on nuclear power was driven by geopolitical concerns and the desire to achieve “total energy independence.” His comments come shortly after French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to build at least six new nuclear reactors in the decades to come, with the option for another eight. The move controversially places atomic power at the center of France’s bid to achieve carbon neutralit... read more

The anti-science of denying natural immunity
*Epoch Times:* *Denial of Natural Immunity in Vaccine Mandates Unprecedented* There has been no rational explanation for denying natural immunity. I suspect that government bureaucrats may think that people would lie about it to avoid shots, but if you can get a vaccine card after a shot, doctors who treat Covid patients can sign a card indicating the patient previously had Covid. Science tells us that natural immunity is significantly better at resisting Covid than the vaccine is. I do not oppose vaccines, especially for the vulnerable. I do think the mandates are a mistake. read more

Biden Insists He Doesn’t Want a New Cold War. His Actions Say Otherwise
*Grant Golub* *Cold War II, Eurasia* By adopting this Cold War-style mental map for American foreign policy, Biden is enlarging the chances the United States miscalculates or finds itself at war again. Since President Joe Biden entered the White House a year ago, he and his top advisers have insisted they are not looking for a return to the superpower competition between the United States and the Soviet Union that dominated world affairs for nearly five decades. Yet one year into his presidency, Biden’s actions have indicated otherwise. Notably, Biden has framed international po... read more
Does Great Power Military Might Still Make Right?
*Ryan Swan* *Great Power Competition, Eurasia* The days of hegemony reinforced by military might are coming to an end. The practice of war has integrally shaped human society for millennia. Today, the preparation for war continues to guide national security policy and dominate national spending in the major powers. In the freshly christened period of “returning” great power competition, the United States, China and Russia are pouring a combined trillion dollars annually into enhancing their nuclear arsenals, advancing their conventional capabilities, and weaponizing emerging tech... read more

Clarifying and Correcting, featuring friends of China and Lewis Goodall
Qing dynasty art, attributed to Ma Quan [no relation to Ma Barker] Regular readers will know that we value those vanishingly rare 'BBC corrections and clarifications'. They are like the most endangered species of butterfly - almost never seen and extremely hard to capture. The latest pair are particularly intriguing. The first is unusually fulsome and concerns a China expert who writes nice things about communist China's influence in the world - winning plaudits from pro-CCP types in the process. She complained that the BBC edited her *Today *interview and removed a key bit of... read more

US Sends Nuclear Submarine To Harass Russia Near Japan
[image: undefined] Since October 30 2021 the U.S. is warning of a Russian military buildup and a potential invasion of the Ukraine. Over the last days the screaming over Russian exercises on Russian grounds has again increased. The U.S. Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense have both called their Russian counterparts. President Biden will later today call President Putin. But if the situation is really as dire as the U.S. claims why is it doing this (machine translation)? An American submarine entered Russian territorial waters in the Kuriles region, and special means w... read more

Anti-slavery collection at Oberlin

On making new friends at this age
Six years ago I wrote about the joy of new friends I'd made in the previous 15 years. Since I didn't use surnames in the article, I had to pause and recall the names and faces. It's been hard to make new friends in these pandemic times, although I did renew some during the days we were taking care of our dying son, and his old friends from 30-40 years ago turned up to support him and us. It seems these days most of our new friends have been made during the summer at Lakeside, like the Priors, the Jankes, the Robys, a Bible study group at the Women's Club and a group of conservati... read more
